COACH CORBIN QUOTE - Hayden was tremendously impactful during his freshman year. Because of his personality and pitching skill, it became apparent to us that he could pitch in crucial situations. We used him as if he was a veteran and he never let us down. I really like his mentality for the game. He is tremendously competitive but quietly confident. Without question, Hayden will be one of the leaders of our pitching staff.
